Yet Another Snowy Run

After receiving over an inch of rain yesterday, this morning I awoke to a ground covered with snow. About 3" of the white stuff fell over the night, and it has been snowing and blowing all day.

I and Topaz hit the trail early for 15 miles as Troy needed to be to the rifle range for gun club at 10 AM.

We ran through the snow, the cold, the wind. Back out came the pants, hats and mittens. Oh well, it won't last for long!

The ponds are all full, the swans and geese looked happy. Topaz enjoyed a dip here and there.

Poor Troy; he stood outside for three hours sighting in guns and playing hunter. He's ready for deer season. He passed his test. This year all three of them will be heading off for deer season. Good thing I have JavelinaJundred planned during that time :)

About Me

12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I! Wow. It's 2013 NOW!
